Texas Pete is a North Carolinian, and he’s being sued

Did you know that the iconic hot sauce was conceived of and made in North Carolina, not Texas? A new class action lawsuit claims most people don't, and that its name is deceiving people.
I've lived in Portland, OR since 2016 and my mom would ship me bottles of Texas Pete because I couldn't find it out here. In the past couple years though you can now find it in most grocery stores. With it expanding outside of NC it's going to find a new audience of Phillips who didn't grow up with it sitting on every table at every restaurant they ever went to. But if you're from NC, or at least Kernersville, you know!!
Can’t help him that his California education didn’t include the proper sauce for NC BBQ. Take the sauce back to your local store. You are not worthy of it.
I went to a friend's house for small dinner get together one night. I asked him if he had anything spicy that I could put on my food, like tabasco or texas pete. I swear everything went silent, he stared me dead in the eye, and just said, "Texas Pete is for p#ssy's" and then went back to eating. Perhaps a judge will order that such a statement must be added to any non-Texas hot sauce created in Winston-Salem? If anything, it could be a spicy slogan for a Texas-based hot sauce company.
It's Texas Pete hot sauce.... It's not Pete's Texas Hot Sauce!! Next lawsuit is to sue fruit loops because the cereal is not really made by nor is it made with real Toucan parrots! Hell, let's sue Count Chocula for being not being a real count made from chocolate!
Any non-British companies making English Muffins or Any US companies making Canadian Bacon are in trouble! Actually the lawyer who filed this frivolous suit should be the one in trouble. 🙄
Hogwash! Texas Pete is just a name. It doesn't claim to be made in Texas. For all we know a guy named Pete from Texas did make the sauce, inspire the sauce, gave the recipe for the sauce or had the idea for the sauce. How are you going to prove he didn't?!
You're a pice of shit. Just trying to make a quick buck off something that ignorant like your self. It plainly states on the bottle it's made in the great state of. NC
Caveat emptor?
Should Apple be sued because there are no actual macintosh apples used in the manufacture of their products?

I'd be perfectly happy with "Piedmont Pete."

"BUFFALO WINGS!"...I rest my case! California punk! He ain't from Texas either!

Another stupid lawsuit clogging up the courts. You should be able to research this easily these days. I hope court throws it out
Carolina Pete, Carolina Joe, Carolina Jim
Indiana Avenue in W-S, NC is a problem also. Geographic obfuscation everywhere.
Texas Pete is awful and we should be happy that most people don’t affiliate it with NC

You're just plain ignorant my friend. Just looking a way to make a quick buck. You're sorry as fuck. Pos
